So, as of tomorrow, you will have made it through what I call, "the rough part," between November and today when there are numerous occasions that remind us of our singleness. Here are my last two new definitions of SINGLE and my personal list of things to enjoy about being single (you may have different things, but it's a good reminder that all is not lost...). This too shall pass. I was not always in such a good place and I still have some bad days, but knowing that God is in control and I am exactly where I need to be, keep my head up and I hope it will do the

And, how does God know what I want and need? He is listening. God hears my prayers, both spoken and unspoken. He reads my heart. I have been in and around human relationships my whole life and there is no one who knows your every desire like God does. A relationship is meaningless without communication, and unlike with another human being, I know God listens to every word, every whisper and every thought. I know this because he has given me peace just like His Word said He would. At eighteen years old, loneliness nearly killed me. Now, I know I am never alone. I am able to embrace my singleness and trust God with my life rather than try to work things out on my own. And, I thank God for that. It comes from taking all my cares, anxieties, and burdens to Him, praising Him and thanking Him for what He has planned for me.
